Hi
Just wanted to know how to fix a few problems with my SBLIVE! Value using Windows XP.
Keep in mind that I did all the updates found in windowsupdates.com (done yesterday) and I already tryed to reinstall SBLIVE software.
Problems are:
1. When Windows boots it always starts with 2 Speakers only. In Audio Settings found in Control Panel and in AUDIOHQ (from creative) both show me 4 speakers, but no sound at all on rear speakers. If I reselect 4 speakers (in AUDIOHQ or in control panel) the sound works OK...
Is there a way to FIX this issue? 'cause it shouldn't be like this. (Win98 works FINE).
2. When changing presets, adjusting volume, checking and unchecking the buttons in AudioHQ I hear lousy 'pops' in speakers. It's a strange sound... like a scratch or something. How do I fix it?
-> Using Creative FPS2000 speakers (not using Digital DIN).
Thanks in advance

Hi
Im not sure if these are the same drivers or not but i just went to www.soundblaster.com and downloaded the xp drivers direct from creative. I used to have the same prob with the speakers returning to 2 speaker mode, but now its fixed
As for the popping im using the digital output (not the din) and it only pops when i check the box 'digital output only' but it doesnt really matter.

damn i fixed it
well 1st drivers from creative had this problem... then they released a "Revision 2" drivers..
ok, I went there and didnt find a thing about that drivers
No revision 1 and/or 2.
Just a 'new driver' it seems... anyway... those 'new ones' fixed the bug
(and yes a mailed them hehe)
